My sweetie (Keith) knew how much I wanted a cutting table, but we have a lot of needs/wants so I didn't want to spend a lot of money. I've looked all over at cutting tables, shows, craft stores, craigslist, custom, etc. Being 6'1" none of them quite fit the need for comfort as I have a degenerative issue with my back so cutting a lower height is painful & inaccurate for me.
Well he built this for me. It's like for I can move it around with my RA. It has storage, it was economical and it's the right height! I was so excited. Here's some pics and he was sweet enough to write up how he did it, they're all pieces from Ikea just for different things :) I LOVE it!!! I can definately cut much easier, accurately & longer :) Here's his directions for a "jolly green giant cutting table" on a budget: Ikea Antonius storage units: $14.99 x 2 – Antonius Frame Width: 17 3/8 " Depth: 21 1/4 " Height: 40 1/8 " (There is also a 27 1/2 " tall frame for those of shorter stature) http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/10177630 $20.00 x 1 – Antonius Desk top Width: 46 7/8 " Depth: 23 5/8 " Thickness: 1 " (To mount this desktop you have to make your own mounting holes. We did this with the screws that came with the smaller desk top and a small drill.) http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/00104818 $7.00 x 2 – Antonius Desk top Width: 17 3/8 " Depth: 21 5/8 " Thickness: 5/8 " http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/60104820 (To obtain correct mounting brackets you must purchase two of these small tops or fashion them yourself.) Total Cost = $69.98 Ikea Antonius storage bins: $2.50 x ? – Antonius Wire basket Width: 16 1/2 " Depth: 20 7/8 " Height: 5 7/8 " http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/10177606 $7.00 x ? – Antonius Drawer 7 gal Width: 16 1/2 " Depth: 21 5/8 " Height: 12 5/8 " http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/00177602 $10.00 x ? – Antonius Drawer 13 gal Width: 16 1/2 " Depth: 21 5/8 " Height: 12 5/8 " http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/00177602 Enjoy :) My New Cutting Table [ATTACH=CONFIG]155817[/ATTACH] How it's put together [ATTACH=CONFIG]155818[/ATTACH] Pretty big drawers [ATTACH=CONFIG]155819[/ATTACH] |
